treme left moved an Interpolation Of tho

242. Prime Minister Rouvier immediate
ly announced the resignation Of the Csoa-
net.
The motion for an Interpolation Of the
government was made by NJ. Clemencfau.
Premier Rouvier demanded that the de-
bate on the subject be adjourned until
the oath instant in the interest oi the
measure, for the conversion Of the public
debt. NJ. Clemeucau said II was . sing
ular method of reasuring the holders oil
the public funds to tell them that they
could live in peace until the oath and 10
promise that there would then be crisis,
such rs never before occurred. The pub
lie he declared had too long awaited an
explanation. There WAS practically no
government. The ministry was not In
condition to guide n republican policy.
Parliament was abandoned to the direc-
ton Of the right. The law officers OF tho
state, and the police were In sonhict and
the administrative disorder was complete.
The division on the government 70 the
proposal TO adjourn the debate was taken
at the conclusion Of NJ. Clemcnccau's
speech. Upon the announcement OF the
result of the vote the chamber adjourned
until Monday amid great excitement

said: lyon have relieved me Of trouble
some burden. have now 70 advice Pres-
dent Grevy to send for you to form Min
istry."

Chamber that he would not undertake To
form a Cabinet.
Among those who voted in the majority
on the motion 10 adjourn the debate were
1863 Republicans and lis Conservatives.
The Ministry included 22l Republicans
and Conservatives.
President Grevy accepted the rcsigna-
tions OF his Ministers at the Elysee.
The journal De- DE Bats ays that the
fixed intention of President Grevy Is not 70

ANOTHER FIRE AT BELLAIRE.
The c. & p. Depot and Freight ONCE Con
sumed Yesterday Morning.

The c. & p. Depot and Freight ONCE Con-
sumed Yesterday Morning.
The c. & p. depot and freight Office and
contents, at Bellaire, were destroyed by
fire about six O'Clock yesterday morning.
Shortly after the early passenger train left
for Pittsburg, fire issued from a car filled
with glass, which occupied position on
the track next TO the freight shed. Before
the flames could be extinguisbed it ignited
a portion Of the freight department, which
being very dry and newly painted soon
became enveloped, and before water could
be thrown was completely destroyed. The
freight Office was next destroyed, and in
turn the rest Of the building, which was
composed Of waiting rooms and the West
ern Union telegraph Office. Most Of the
furniture and Office supplies were saved,
except in the freight Office, where all the
company's reports were consumed. The
heat was very oppressive and it took con-
tinued application Of water to the houses in
the vicinity to save them. The cars con-
sumed were loaded for shipment and might
have been saved, but for the many things
that claimed attention at that time. The
Atlantic Tea Company had . carload Of
goods ready for shipment, but it was near
the south end Of the depot and escaped
with q scorching Adams Express CON-
pany had lot Of goods in the freight de-
partment which were lost The fire is sup
posed TO have originated from some waste
paper between the cars and the shed, into
which a lighted match OF cigar was seci-
dentally thrown, hut it seems somewhat
queer that the b Il o. and G. & p should
both suffer from fire about the same time.
Mr.. Mat Gordon, manager OF the ticket
and telegraph Offices, was busy all day
yesterday getting the telegraph instru-
ments in working order. The steamer
Princess was lying at the upper hayfboat
when the blaze was first noticed, and soon
her whistle was toetns vigorously. The
people Of Bellaire have long been praying
for a new C. & P. depot, and it il to be
hoped their prayers viii now be answered
The members of the fire department
said to REGISTER man lsst evening. that
the statement in tks two Bellaire evening
papers that they went to the fire drunk
Is utterly untrue, and they wish the pub
lie TO know II.

Anti.saloon Republicans.

ton TO the saloons, 10 meet with the League

can candidates, that the Republican party
therefore, has nothing to lose by an open
standing against liquor, and asserts that it
has much to gain, as evidenced by the re-
suits achieved by the Republicans in Penn
